SCJ, FBB, BMBV, WW, AO, AM, and dozens more have asked a simple question that would help align truth and honesty to this discussion. Yet, after being asked 100 times, not one Individual has been able to answer it. Heck, there is still a $1,000 reward for any person to provide proof of FBFA’s...

Interesting take on the 30A Legacy. When I think back over the last 25 years, each restaurant owner, after arriving and working as a chef first, or opening each restaurant on their own risk, have truly shaped the personality, mood, and character of each eclectic beach community along 30A. The...

Too Late, It’s official, Our 30A Legacy Has Been Destroyed Our slice of heaven has been prostituted to personal agendas, hollow local fame, big fish in a really small pond, and manipulation of a community so utterly divided by class warfare, they just forever ruined the very prize they coveted...

Our beaches are important to all of us. We all want the same thing. Rational people can see that by reading through The discussion. Respect for our pristine natural resource. Respect for everyone’s love of the beach. Respect for private property rights. It all worked great til the incompetent...

During 110,000 views and 2,200 posts here, we have begged for a mature discussion on topic. To spur that discussion, we have provided documented definitions of behaviors indicative of a: Pirate Mob Hooligan While trying to use those illustrative adjectives as metaphorical tools to depict...

No pretense No agenda No threats No propaganda No ultimatum No line in sand No bloviating Just honest, simple, bare naked, real world, "Watched it with my own eyes" ... FACT Regardless of who wins... Customary Use Will Destroy Our 30A Legacy

Discussing important community topics was the genesis of this thread. By design, Faulty positions and unsupportable claims would theoretically be easily dismissed and discarded, on both sides of CU. Alternate opinions and voices would be unconditionally heard, and respected, with the assumption...

While we all appreciates passion and conviction, the discussion must be honest. Can’t be based on lies. There is no “restoring” or “reaffirming” something that was never in existence, ever. To abuse raw public emotions, purposefully waste $1,000,000’s of other’s money, divide a community, and...

Welcome to those of you joining us from that elite “Divisioning” site that won’t allow citizens to join if they have a brain of their own. Us “Anonymous” leaders in our community have been having a deep and thoughtful discussion on this thread about how we got here, who lied about what, and...

4/25/2019 https://sowal.com/forum/attachments/upload_2019-4-25_8-30-52-jpeg.76395/ When you see a PCB or Destin bumper sticker, what thought immediately comes to mind? Probably same for all of us with any time spent here - nice, but it ain’t 30A! Do you remember why you started renting/visiting...

I yield to the leadership and tenacity, professional research and communication, desire to find the truth and commitment to honesty, found in the many citizen contributors here, both the staples, and the impressive newcomers alike. In recognition of their hard work and honest contributions...

I really do hate to distract from the new, very intelligent, and salient voices in the room. But I must confess in their defense...I am the guilty party who typed the word... Hooligan; One who drums up emotional mob mentality in a community by broadcasting inflating and knowingly false info to...

Hanging out this morning at Old Guys breakfast table at Donut Hole. One Old Fart asks these 3 questions. We all started furiously writing on napkins. “I wonder how much percentage of the total Walton County property tax revenue the beachfront property owners pay?” “What if the county really...

So is this the Dave R that has 143 social media posts that firmly DENOUNCE renourishing Walton beaches? Oh wait, it could also be the same Dave R, who also has 72 different social media posts - but PROMOTING Walton beach renourishment? Maybe just a little TDS, and not really about beaches at all?

That is the 5th, fifth, 5x that Dave has blessed us with that very exact, word for word novel about the beach Emperor on this little ol’ thread. Geez!. Does Dave have nothing else to say over 6 months? Or his he distracting attention from recent developments? You decide. Neighbors, please...

Sorry gang, many much smarter people than me, or is it I? I can’t ever get that right! Anyway, much smarter dudes & dudettes here, on this thread, repeatedly, have taken each of the foundational claims of first - the CU requirements by law, and next - the claims by the CU leaders. Each of those...

We are fast approaching 100,000 thread views, 2,000 comments, 100 pages. Epic discussion folks. Twice this week this thread had 1,000 views per day. This subject IS of great interest. The details and facts DO matter. Sunlight and truth ARE important. Our commitment to the community, to keep...

Thx Dave. Dave is reposting an article here referring to a court case heard yesterday that was a contempt of court charge against Walton County Officials in conflict from a case 10 years ago. That case result in effect granted a large private Walton Beach parcel; perpetual immunity from...

FBB, see how simple and easy linear thought can be when you don’t twist, turn, distract, lie, mislead, inject, dramatize, etc...? Well done!!! Except that we haven’t been able to buy Nacona Boots in the Lott Outlet since about 1994, but I knew he wouldn’t get that far.

Now I get it, it suddenly all actually makes sense. If we would have known that the CU leaders depend on Dr Seuss Memes for guidance, this could have been a very short discussion...

You know, when I started this 6 months ago, the same article was submitted to 6 online sources. All were censored off because of the brutal honesty, except here. Here, they censored the title, and a few posts, OK, not pure, but good for Walton County messaging standards. Given the latest legal...

So for the record, addressing the citizens and tourists of Walton County... This is a repost from April 27, 2019 first put on this thread, look at the first page. Yes, the added sentence/piece at the bottom is a personal financial promotion addition, quite frequent and common in this...

Jodi, 3 points here; I’m not an attorney, but I’m a huge Matlock/Perry Mason fan... No, not for a minute does anyone believe that everyone of the thousands of those filling out CU affidavits is/was clueless, quite the contrary. And in no way am I suggesting that you and some others weren’t...

Interesting question. The content of those affidavits seems to feed right into the Judge’s line of questioning. But even more interesting, the concept has been brought up on this thread before... What would happen if an attorney, or several attorneys, for the defendant - were to depose in...

Houses of cards meet their inevitable demise when built solely on mistruths, class warfare, jealous greed, and emotional leverage. It’s inevitable. What you are witnessing now is the echoing vacuum of content from the sources of these class warriors that have been exposed as consistently less...

Ah, my bad. Jim, please excuse this old brain for the miss. Doc says it’ll get worse with time! I won’t bother to address Tom. He knows the facts. He just refuses to publish them. Instead of the truth in that newsletter, we get lather, rinse, repeat.

The silence is deafening..... (But a welcomed benefit)

Jim, BMBV is quite accurate in his response with legal fact. However, you brought up here another claim that is widely misunderstood, and often misrepresented in public discussion. The tax bill for any property owner holding title to community/association property as is common in developer...

Oh, almost forgot, I also told them... Once this CU case goes away, the fervor dies off , and everything quiets down, and we get back to normal, If you INSTEAD really want to see more signs, ropes, ejections, removals, exclusions, and beach jerks, then all you have to do is: 1) Tell a property...

I met a young professional married couple in our community last night at dinner, recent transplants from afar. They have 2 young kids, and after a while of chatting, they disclosed their uneasiness in going to their neighborhood beach access. They “Were very afraid of confrontation”. So instead...

Well SP, after sitting in Judge Green’s CU process hearing today, it appears he has indeed studied up on at least the same legal principles studied here on this thread. It seems as though he might even be leaning, based on his questions, towards a quick ruling on Nov 12 that renders this lawsuit...

Thx, I forgot. The same 10-20 viewers on this thread are the same “only a handful, aka10-12” BPO’s that we were led to believe would challenge a lawsuit against them. But now in reality, thousands are defending themselves. But sure, we’ll go with that 10-20 fantasy if it makes some of us sleep...

Thank you Walton County. I posted this heart felt message 170 days ago that crossed THE line in the sand (get it?). It’s sole purpose was to give voice to a perspective and set of facts that was being aggressively censored from your view. It’s done much more than that. It’s generated a record...

For the twelve people who are responsible for the 80,000 views this thread has generated (and the handsome SoWal ad profits it has created), please take note... Even though I am actually a mentally and physically challenged, bored, teenage girl named Regina - living in a modern hut in the...

Apparently, both Alan Osborn’s uncovering of many damaging facts to the county’s BCC inept efforts to manage this county, one of which was Taylor Engineering reporting on CU at the BCC meeting yesterday that the ECL line in Walton (Effectively also the MHTL) is actually currently under water...

This original story was from the heart, as a family of generations living on 30A beach specifically. The Walton County Weirdness has hijacked all critical thinking and valuable discussion. Even this title was changed by admins because Dave couldn’t handle the message. Thank you BMBV, your...

For those following the adult discussion.... In review, the major factual differences in DR/FBFA letter about County suing citizens, and the correction publication of same are listed in bullets here; The HB631 was anything but unfair. It was passed by the vast supermajority of both Florida...

Update: The Ricky Garcia correction post that was referenced in my last entry here, was removed from FBFA page within 9 minutes of being posted. Let that sink in. Hundreds of private beach owners are blocked from the Walton Divisioning page as well, the original home of FBFA. Only in La La land...

It seems there is confusion and discussion in the community over an FBFA piece from DR that has appeared in many public venues. Ricky Garcia, of Santa Rosa Beach(?) has leveled the discussion on an FBFA FB page to more objective facts, rather than subjective heresay... interesting discussion...

Parting kiss Scooter; My world is one where the weak and powerful work together. My world is one of charitable sharing, up and down the political, economic, health, and spiritual ladders. Servant leadership wins the day when those further along in the dollar struggle pull those up from behind...

OK, OK, go ahead, drag me into yet another cool kids playground huddle. Tried to stay away, but blasphemy gets me every time. Look Scooter, you're conspiracy theory of "Power Brokers" is akin to Bernie Sanders, the multi millionaire, always crying about the 'Rich". This CU thing is about...

Well dang it Dave, I thought we had a vast universe of fans out there. Thanks for clearing that up. Now that we know it’s just a couple of us girls in here, I need advice. Seriously, actually... knowing that you’ve had/have a couple/few Tesla’s, I’m pretty close to joining the club. Can’t decide...

I leave y’all with this precious thread and it falls apart in the hands of mischief. Parenting in the new millennium, GEEZ! Bob, Dave, you’re correct. That bill aimed to turn Pensacola public beach into private beach, and indeed it failed locally, big win for the community. They deserve to...

Dave, you and I are both businessmen. If you don't understand impression demographics math, don't blame me for that. And don’t you dare assume my caring for Walton is a veiled attempt. Many true leaders are out here trying to build solutions while you and your kind are only tearing this...

Admins, Given this current display of mindless banter, regurgetated/reprinted articles, along with the recent trend to hijack this once constructive thread with class warfare propaganda, It's obvious the discussion has run its course. Since the title was changed, it has been a struggle to keep...

You wanna throw up all over a constructive post with big italicized letters in an emotional, irrelevant patriotic mantra, pretending to be a hero of some sort Only to have it literally shredded with a little reasonable thought, logic, and current law And then instead of defending your defeated...

Ok, let’s review: 50% of Walton beaches have been private for 100 years 50% are county/state owned aka “public” So the Public beaches are already “free” But You want all beaches to be “free”, meaning you have access and use to them all at your discretion. But the other 50% are private. You...

Translated for those who took the time and researched the law and Walton County beach ownership history... “I want something nice and of significant value that you have owned for many years. If you don’t hand it over to me as a result of my threats, I’m willing to fight you to the death to...

BMBV, well said. Thanks to you and a group of locals, through this thread, we have combined our interest in the protection of our community and neighbors’ quality of life. Your voices have made a huge impact on holding CU activists accountable. We have inspired a handful of other mediums and...
